About the instructor:

Ven. Jue Ji became a Buddhist nun at Fo Guang Shan, Taiwan in 1990. She obtained her PhD degree in Buddhist Studies at the University of Hong Kong. Her specialties and interests include chanting, meditation, and mindful yoga. Following the steps of Venerable Master Hsing Yun, she vows to spread the seeds of Buddha Dharma, and introduce the daily application of Humanistic Buddhism to all friends of Buddhism in the West.

This is a group for anyone who is interested in Buddhism, spirituality, mindfulness, etc. All levels of understanding are welcome. We have numerous guided praticing events, such as meditation, mindful yoga, Dharma talk, tea ceremony, Tai Chi, discussion group, etc, most of which are lead by monastic instructor in a peaceful temple setting. I started this group to engage local buddhists or non-buddhists who want to learn about Buddhism, to share practice experiences, and to provide guidance.
